Chaddesden Lane in the suburb of Avonside (red zone)Christchurch

Chaddesden Lane – Named after Chaddesden, the home once there of William Patten Cowlishaw (1839- 1903) and his wife Helen. The subdivision by Horncastle Homes created 12 residential allotments off Cowlishaw Street. The property was formerly occupied by the Avonmore Academy. Named in 2005.

A small amount of information from the library website.I didn’t walk this street as I couldn’t find it. It is also not on google maps. Chaddesden is a place in Derby so William Cowlishaw’s house is probably named after this place. There was obviously no houses here as this is the red zone. Found more information and William Cowlishaw’s father came from Caddesden in the UK and he named his property in Australia after Caddesden.
